A picture-perfect couple’s sordid past threatens to rock a sleepy southern town down to its core.
Told in alternating timelines, this multi-POV thriller explores toxic masculinity, gender-based violence, and female rage in the tradition of Darby Kane.
Childhood sweethearts Rhett and Lucinda seem to have the perfect marriage, the child they always wanted, and even the white picket fence. But fifteen years ago, the couple came very close to losing everything. When outsider Jennifer Moore arrived in their tight-knit Kentucky town, a brief but explosive affair between the newcomer and the soon-to-be-married Rhett stirred up a violent storm of betrayal that ended with a dead body and mystery riddled in corruption and deception.
Now, new evidence has surfaced–including an eyewitness who places Rhett at the scene of the brutal crime. Soon the carefully constructed life Rhett and Lucinda built starts to crumble–and the truth waiting beneath the surface could destroy them both.
In a town steeped in deadly southern charm, secrets don’t fade–they fester.
From the authors of The Lake of Lost Girls comes a chilling domestic suspense that will leave you desperate to uncover the truth.
Katherine Greene is the pen name of bestselling authors A. Meredith Walters and Claire C. Riley. They each cut their teeth on spine-tingling thrillers and true crime, and their love of dark, twisted tales with a strong female voice led them to create stories that leave you guessing. Both currently live in the United Kingdom with their families.
